Problems since new AC update

Hey, i have played this dog game for few years now, but since you updated anticheat, which let in more cheaters btw, which is kinda funny, anyways Iam getting hard freeze & crashes in the game since then and iam getting these issues in event viewer: 

The game r5apex_dx12.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xE0AC0001
The game r5apex_dx12.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005
--------------
Exception code: 0xC0000005
Exception address: 0x7FF77FFE2B3D
Faulting module name: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Apex Legends\r5apex_dx12.exe, base: 0x7FF77E220000
Fault offset: 0x1DC2B3D

Basically integrity check fails, I have tried reinstalling your funny anticheat, disabling many overlays like discord, nvidia, etc. But it didnt help, so iam asking what could be the issue? Should I just uninstall this game finally and enjoy peace in my mind or will you fix it? Or atleast provide me the solution, because I dont think iam the only one with this problem, with EAC it was working fine.

And today I cant launch ranked - getting the error which is posted in attachments as image.

  • Apex Legends (Steam, r5apex_dx12.exe), Windows 11 Home 26H2 build 26300.9711, Secure Boot on.

    Game ran normally 19-21 Oct (sessions up to 112 min). On 22 Oct at 09:05 Javelin self-updated

    to 1.0.16162060 (EAAntiCheat.sys build 2026-10-21); from the very next launch every match /

    Firing Range join fails with "...failed the anti-cheat authentication (4)". No other system

    change in that window (no Windows updates, no new software).

    Earlier, Javelin terminated the game with exit code 0xE0AC0001 on 10 Oct, 17 Oct (x2), 18 Oct.

    Already tried: Steam verify (3 Javelin launcher files replaced), EA installer uninstall/install,

    disabling ASUS/MSI services + MsIo64/NTIOLib drivers. Clock, Secure Boot, bcdedit, CodeIntegrity,

    Windows Firewall all clean. No Javelin event is written for the (4) failure itself.
